I went to the ER on Saturday (I should have been 5 weeks exactly) with cramping and a HR 130. I have never had any bleeding. The ER docs thought my baby was in a tube. So they did a U/S and said that all was good and that the baby was actually 5 weeks and 4 days. When I went to my scheduled U/S on the following Wednesday, the Radiologist thought that the baby was supposed to measure 6 weeks 1 day... she said that there was no heartbeat and that the u/s had not changed that much from Saturday... she called it a failed pregnancy. I went immediately to my fertility doctor, who calculated from my date of ovulation (I had artificial insemination, so I know when i ovulated)... he said that I was 5 weeks and 4 days on WEDNESDAY... but he said you should see a embryo by 5 weeks and 4 days... he said I have a 66% of miscarriage. I have to go back in a week for another u/s... Has anyone else gone through this? Does an u/s really change that much in 4 days?

∙ 14y agoIts not very common, but it does happen. normally the embryo is visible from 51/2 week onwards. However if you have conceived late in the cycle or if you are not sure about your dates , it could happen that it could be too early for you to see the embryo at 6 weeks.

∙ 12y agoAt 5 weeks pregnant, the baby is only a cluster of cells, and it is very common for women to not see anything at 5 weeks because the baby is only about the size of a grain of rice. If you did see anything, it would be very small.

My best advice is go to your doctor who can give you an internal scan to see if there is any of the embryo remaining in your womb.

If a baby is measuring a week bigger on scan than EDC does that mean the baby is big or do they date by your last period?
It depends when you have your scan. email me with your dates (see my bio page)and I will explain

When does a fetus show arms legs on ultrasound?
This happens around the 5th week of pregnancy. But will not be able to see this on a scan until your 16 weeks
What does it mean if the ultrasound shows an empty placenta sac at 6 weeks?
I had a ultrasound scan at 7 weeks 3 days, and the pregnancy sac was visible, but my doctor could not find the fetal pole or heartbeat. He said there can be a significant amount of dvelopment from week 7 to 8, and I sm scheduled for another scan in a week's time. He said this wasn't necessarily bad news so I'll just have to wait.
You are eight week pregnant your ultasound showed an empty womb why is this?
could it be ectopic, though the scan should have picked up abnormalities. See your doctor.

Why doesn't doctor see anything on scan while being 5 weeks pregnant?
Hello. I can understand how worrying this must be for you when the doctor doesn't see the foetus on a 5 week scan. But please dont be worried as this is perfectly normal. A fetus usually shows up on a ultrasound when your in your 6th week of pregnancy and sometimes the foetus doesn't become clear till your in your 7th week of pregnancy. I hope this has helped you some. Congratulations on your pregnancy.
If you went for a scan and they couldn't see anything how many weeks am you?
If you went for a scan and they couldn't see anything, you might not be pregnant.
